My grandparents tell a similar story of a Catholic priest giving them outrageous advice on childbearing, to which my non-Catholic grandmother said she was never taking her kids back to a Catholic church, and my grandfather was free-thinking enough to ignore the priest's advice but Catholic enough to say his kids went to a Catholic church or to no church. The resulting lack of church contributed to the decline of religion in my family, for which I am grateful.
I like to think my great-grandmother, born 1899, pictured in my icon, and in whose honor this journal is named, would have supported gay marriage. The relevant story, if you're interested, is here: http://mildred-of-midgard.dreamwidth.org/1423.html
